Number of poor performances this year

[YesHeCheeKam]

Does anyone remember a year since 2003 where we put up so many bad performances?
Theres been very few losses this year where I have walked away and thought we played okay. Usually theres a heap of games you would walk out of and think we got done but had a good crack. I went through our games and ranked them from Excellent, Good, OK, Poor and Terrible. What a shocking year.

Excellent
- Knights (W 36-18)
- Dragons (W 34-18)

Good
- Souths (L 18-14)
- Knights (W 24-20)
- Dragons (W 16-8)
- Panthers (W 26-6)
- Broncos (W 44-24)

Ok
- Bulldogs (W 28-16)
- Cowboys (W 24-16)
- Eels (L 36-22)
- Manly (L 44-24)

Poor
- Warriors (L 30-26)
- Raiders (L 30-12)
- Cowboys (L 34-30)
- Warriors (L 18-16)
- Souths (L 38-22)

Terrible
- Eels (L 40-12)
- Roosters (L 40-6)
- Manly (L 40-6)
- Sharks (L 50-20)
- Storm (L 66-16)

Can’t recall a worse season ..
Absolutely diabolical

I actually thought the first loss against Souffs was our best performance this year.If sutton didnt give the filth of the league continual legups and ignoring foul play by them for the majority of the game we win.
No doubt the year has been poor though

It has stood out to me as the only game where played with heart for the entire game.

The Cowboys loss at LO might be "only" statistically poor but for mine it is the worst performance of the year. Everything that game was meant to represent and they phoned it in. Absolutely abysmal.

The loss against Souths was easily our best performance, sadly probably followed by our Easter loss against the Eels. Those 2 wins you said were excellent lent we’re against heavily depleted sides, if we were serious we would have won them both by 40+

The wins against Dogs and Cowboys were both poor

Yep. That was the low point for me too and set the tone for what was to come for the rest of the season.

In all those poor/terrible games, we have had this awful 20-30 minute period that has killed us. Need to find the reason for that- those 30 minute blocks are scatterred all over the place without a set pattern.

Y'all have some short memories:

* 2001 - in one season Hoppa got done for hidden fingers and Field/McGuinness suspended for drugs; won 9 matches and finished 12th. The season included the infamous back-to-back mid-season 56-6 and 66-12 losses to Knights and Eels, followed by the all-time arse kicking 64-0 away to Melbourne two months later.

* 2003 - first year of Sheens, start 2 wins from 4 then a 1W 8L tragic run including conceding 26 points or more for every one of those losses. Tigers kept to 8 points or less 8 times in 24 matches (1/3 of matches). Finished the season with 3 30-point losses.

* 2013 - having sacked and still paying for Tim Sheens, first year under a new coach, only managed 7 wins all season and ended with 1W 8L the final 9 rounds (only a single win after June 2013). Finished 15th. Lowlights include a 3-week run of 40-4, 30-6 and 51-10 against Dogs, Sharks and Souths. Rounded out the year with a 56-14 shellacking from Easts at home and a 55-20 loss in Townsville. 7 wins total that season, finished 13th.

* 2015 - another new-coach year, won the opening 2 matches, but went 1 W 9 L midseason including the infamous "Taylorball" 8-0 loss at home to Cowboys. Finished 15th. Nathan Milone was given the first 3 of his total 6 FG runs.

* 2017 - Two big losses Rounds 2 and 3 see Jason Taylor punted and Ivan Cleary installed. Despite this Tigers go on another 1W 9L run mis-season including 36-blot to Broncos at Suncorp and the annual 40-18 Roosters hiding. The 28-8 loss to Souths in Rd 10 is the famous Mitchell Moses tanking match and he's named halfback for the Eels side 1 week later. Tedesco and Woods decide to leave. Only manage 7 wins and finish 14th.

I know the OP is talking about total # poor performances, but I think the context of the season also adds to the damage and quality of the losses. There are some losses which are bad for lack of effort or application, there are other losses which are bad because in-fighting or off-field drama have derailed the playing group.

By the way I'll intentionally point out that those horrendous seasons were the first seasons of 5 of our 7 coaches. It unfortunately predicts another bad year if Madge was to go.

BTW if we win 1 more match 2021 will be only the 7th worst win/loss ratio in our history.

The thing that does my head in week after week are the unforced errors. Where would we be sitting now had we held onto the ball?

You can always rely upon our blokes to make critical errors in possession.It has constantly cost us the chance of winning games.I would dare say we have the highest error count this season compared to every other club

What about 50-0 and 56-0 to St George and Roosters after just flogging the Warriors 50-4.
(2004)

Reminds me a lot of 2013 to be honest.
Although believe it or not that team consisted of 10 senior players (25 and over + over 100 games)
Keith Galloway
Benji Marshall
Braith Anasta
Chris Lawrence
Adam Blair
Matt Bell
Liam Fulton
Joel Reddy
Lote Tuquiri
Matt Utai

And featured the following with between 50-100 games.
Blake Ashford
Aaron Woods
Eddy Pettybourne
Bodene Thompson
Tim Moltzen

That same year we debuted 10 players and had Tedesco starting only his second game.

And just so I can say I said it. Turn one or two of those awful performances into wins and we fall in the top 8. What does that say about the rest of the bottom teams?

I still hold hope because a lot of these guys are very young and so they don't handle the pressure very well and that was on show for everyone to see on the weekend. Forced passes trying to score on every play. Not building pressure etc.

I actually think we showed amazing courage after the cowboys LO debacle. Any other team would have completely fallen apart at the seams. Our worst season was tedescos last season when we fell dead last by a long shot.

Actually on reflection it reminds me a lot of the 2012 season in fact. Although we had more wins that year it was still a disappointing season considering we were considered premiership favourites after adding Blair.

Senior coach on the rocks (losing the dressing room)
An interchanging squad. (Bryce Gibbs, Fifita out) and Heighington / Ryan not being renewed during the year.
And the big one our star 5/8 being moved to halfback to becoming the game manager whilst we introduce a new 5/8 in Sironen. (Although Brooks has been halfback in number, it can’t be denied that Marshall had been the main voice of the side) ironically that year Marshall’s TA were also the highest of his career. (Pretty sure same would apply to Brooks this year)

4 debutants that year and 4 debutants the year before. The side didn’t have much turn over from the year before Gareth Ellis was still around and announced he will be heading home before the season started.

 

[Tiger Woods]

Some of our wins were also poor this year when teams were scoring late & giving us the usual heart attack finish
Our defensive lapses before/after halftime have cost us year after year
The whole off season should be concentrating on defensive drills especially scrambling

 

[supercoach]

This year for me has been without doubt the worst I have experienced since day one of the joint venture.

Our wins have been against under manned teams or teams as busted as us. It also has to be remembered we have had a pretty good run with injuries compared to a lot of other sides.

Not only has our defence and attack been abysmal, but the style of football we have played has been terrible.

Anyway we can look forward to much the same next year as our chairman apparently has been quoted as saying, Madge and Pascoe are not going anywhere, so I guess the basket case of club will continue.

100% agree with you there mate
